  • Timeminutes per visit — the loop is the activity
  • Setupa little setup

What you need

  • The library's Doodles
  • a coloring station or corner with dry-erase crayons and an eraser cloth
  • printed challenge sheets

Steps

  1. Come in and find your Doodle

    It's waiting — and so is its next challenge.

  2. Make it yours this visit

    Color it, read with it, or take on the challenge from the sheet.

  3. Mark the challenge done

    Completed challenges get marked on the printed sheet with crayon, so staff can see at a glance which are finished.

  4. The Doodle moves on

    When a challenge is truly complete, the Doodle advances to the next one — staff set it out between visits, so something new is always waiting.

  5. Come back

    After lunch, after class, or the next day, the loop starts again.

Tips

  • Families can sign out a Doodle to take home.
  • Multiple Doodles can run different challenges at once — kids compare notes on whose Doodle is up to what.
